3 Scientific Benefits of Fasting

Dr. Jockers
About this episode

This episode is brought to you by Pique, where plants and science intersect to produce teas and supplements of unrivaled efficacy, purity, and convenience. Pique teas are blended with other functional plants specifically designed to support metabolism, gut health, digestion, and shut down appetite…all while helping to ease bloat and curb sugar cravings. If you practice intermittent fasting, drinking these award-winning flavors will not break your fast! I enjoy Pique teas even when not fasting, so I use different flavors for different benefits throughout my day. Pique’s revolutionary Tea Crystals—made with cold extraction technology—are organic, vegan, non-GMO, sugar-free, free of preservatives or additives, and triple toxin screened for purity. What’s more, these pure teas dissolve in hot or cold water, so no prep or brewing is required.

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my go-to items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. And that is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful chemicals. There are no fillers, flow agents or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth protein. That's it. And you can get 15% off today using the code "jockers" or by clicking here: paleovalley.com/jockers 

 

Today’s sponsor is Purality Health. Are hidden toxins and stressors making you feel run down and tired? Are you worried about oxidative stress from exposure to EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, and processed foods? Toxic is the new normal in our modern world. Toxins in our body take on the role of free radicals, causing oxidative damage on a cellular level that can lead to premature aging and a lower quality of life. One of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. It fights free radicals while repairing DNA. However, not all glutathione supplements are created equal. If you’re taking it in capsule or tablet form, you’re missing out on key nutrients that will pass through your body without being absorbed. 

 

Purality Health has a patented formula that utilizes Micelle Liposomal technology which delivers the glutathione nutrients into your bloodstream, which has been proven to be 800% more efficient. Backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee, you can find them at puralityhealth.com and use the coupon code ‘DRJ’ to get a 30% discount coupon.

 

Join us in this episode where Dr. Jockers goes over the 3 scientific benefits of practicing intermittent fasting, partial fasting, or extended fasting.  If you aren't living a fasting lifestyle, this podcast episode will hopefully inspire you to incorporate some level of fasting into your lifestyle!  You will also understand terms like autophagy and how our body breaks down unneeded or damaged components within a cell and reuses them as the building blocks for cellular repair or the formation of new cells.

 

“Ketones tell the Mitochondria to do something called uncoupling, which is almost of a wasting of energy producing heat. And that process drives down inflammation, oxidative stress throughout our entire body"

-Dr. David Jockers
